Veld 2025 is a long-term vision for the sustainable management of South Africa’s rangelands. It is a collaborative effort between government, industry, and civil society to ensure that these vast and important ecosystems continue to provide essential services for the people of South Africa.
Veld 2025 is based on the recognition that rangelands are under increasing pressure from a variety of factors, including climate change, land degradation, and invasive species. These pressures are threatening the ability of rangelands to provide the essential services that they do, such as water purification, carbon sequestration, and food production. Veld 2025 aims to address these challenges and ensure that rangelands continue to be a productive and sustainable part of South Africa’s landscape.
